Eating quickly and absconding (7)
I believe the answer is:
bolting
This clue could be a double definition.
'eating quickly' is the first definition.
'bolting' can be an answer for 'eating' (bolting is a kind of eating). I'm unsure of the 'quickly' bit.
'absconding' is the second definition.
('bolt' can be a synonym of 'abscond')
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for bolting that I've seen is " Running away without warning".)
